Huh? When did anyone ever give the Palestinian side weapons of mass destruction?

@psychothumbs Sure, if you don’t consider rocket launchers weapons of mass destruction. Let’s call them self-propelled artillery. I edited the original post so what I mean doesn’t get misrepsented. Thanks for the note!

Right rocket launchers are definitely not weapons of mass destruction. WMDs are generally restricted to the categories of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, with even chemical being a bit of an edge case in terms of whether it really counts as "mass destruction."

Also I don't think the Soviets were ever giving the Palestinian resistance rocket launchers either, though not as sure about that as about the WMDs.

@psychothumbs @gimulnautti Erm do you not support the jewish people's right to autonomy? Are we going to have a problem sir?

[–] psychothumbs 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't think Israel should disenfranchise the Palestinians in the occupied territories and deny Palestinians abroad the right to return in order to maintain a Jewish majority if that's what you mean. Is that a problem for you? I see this is your first post but your bio says "people who don't look like me don't deserve rights" so I'd guess we do have some issues.

@psychothumbs @Barafield Looks like we might have a troll in our hands 🤔

@gimulnautti @psychothumbs "Troll" is a very hurtful slur I am an incredibly serious person thank you very much!

@Barafield @psychothumbs On my part, quite the contrary. You dress the issue in what you imagine as an attack against the state of Israel, if I may say so good sir.

If you would be so kind as to not promote knee-jerk reactions, but read at least my comment again to see there were only comments about the conflict being amplified and perhaps even enabled by cold-war geopolitics.
